本公开要求在2018年08月09日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810902854.7的中国专利申请的优先权，以上申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本公开中。
技术领域
本文涉及自动售货技术领域，例如涉及一种自动售货机。
背景技术
自动售货机是一种商业自动化设备，用于自动出售货物。自动售货机由于具有不受时间地点限制、能节省人力、方便交易等特点，应用越来越广泛。
相关技术记载了一种自动售货机，该自动售货机包括用于容纳货物的货道、取货口以及用于在货道与取货口之间运送货物的货斗。其中，货斗为框架式结构，货斗包括相对的入口和出口，自动售货机出货时，首先将货斗驱动至货道处，使货斗的入口与货道的出口相对，然后将货道中的货物经货斗的入口送入货斗内部，最后将货斗驱动至取货口处，使货斗的出口与取货口相对，从而使用户经取货口和货斗的出口将货斗内的货物取走。
然而，相关技术的自动售货机货道内的货物在由货道进入货斗时可能会发生倾斜，当倾斜的货物的后端伸出货斗的入口而到达货斗外部时，伸出货斗的入口的货物将会阻碍货斗在货道与取货口之间正常运动，从而造成自动售货机工作异常，因此相关技术的自动售货机存在货斗内的货物伸出货斗的入口而可能造成的自动售货机工作异常的问题。

在一些实施例中，递送装置300还包括货斗驱动机构320，如图3所示，货斗驱动机构320包括水平驱动机构321和竖直驱动机构322，水平驱动机构321和竖直驱动机构322与控制装置500电连接，并且与货斗310传动连接，水平驱动机构321设置为驱动货斗310沿左右方向移动，竖直驱动机构322设置为驱动货斗310沿上下方向移动，以使货斗310的入口311a与任意一个货道210的出口相对，或使货斗310的出口311b与取货口130相对。当货斗310的入口311a与任意一个货道210的出口相对时，该货道210中的货物能够被送入货斗310；当货斗310的出口311b与取货口130相对时，用户能够经由取货口130取走货斗310内的货物。
检测装置400设置为检测货斗310的入口311a处是否有货物，本实施例中，检测装置400包括至少一个光电传感器410，光电传感器410包括相对设置在货斗310的入口311a的两侧的光发生器和光接收器，在货斗310的入口311a处有货物的情况下，光电传感器410的光发生器和光接收器之间的光路被截断，光电传感器410的光接收器不能接收光发生器发射的光，光电传感器410输出第一信号；在货斗310的入口311a处没有货物的情况下，光电传感器410的光接收器能够接收光发生器发射的光，光电传感器410输出第二信号。可选的，本实施例中，检测装置400包括多个光电传感器410，每个光电传感器410的光发 生器和光接收器相对设置在货斗310的入口311a的左右两侧，多个光电传感器410沿货斗310的上下方向(即箭头cd所指的方向)间隔设置，当货斗310的入口311a处有货物时，至少一个光电传感器410的光发生器和光接收器之间的光路被截断，该光电传感器410输出第一信号，当货斗310的入口311a处没有货物时，所有光电传感器410的光接收器均能接收对应的光发生器发射的光，所有光电传感器410均输出第二信号。检测装置400的每个光电传感器410均与自动售货机010的控制装置500电连接，控制装置500根据光电传感器410输出的信号，即可检测货斗310的入口311a处是否存在货物。其中，当检测装置400的任意一个光电传感器410输出第一信号时，控制装置500判定货斗310的入口311a处有货物，当检测装置400的所有光电传感器410均输出第二信号时，控制装置500判定货斗310的入口311a处没有货物。
报警装置600设置为向用户输出报警信息，比如，报警装置600被设置为向用户输出货斗异常的报警信息，其中，报警装置600可以通过声、光、文字、图片等形式向用户输出报警信息。
控制装置500与储物装置200、递送装置300、检测装置400和报警装置600电连接，控制装置500设置为控制自动售货机010的储物装置200、递送装置300、检测装置400和报警装置600工作。比如，控制装置500设置为根据用户的购买指令控制接货仓312在入货位置接收目标货道送出的货物，检测货斗310的入口311a是否有货物，当检测到货斗310的入口311a有货物时，控制接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置，以使货物全部进入货斗310，其中，第一位置位于入货位置和出货位置之间。
具体的，以本文实施例的自动售货机010为例，控制装置500根据用户的购买指令确定用户要购买的货物(以下简称为货物)，并根据该货物确定容纳货 物的货道210，也即，目标货道，然后控制装置500控制递送装置300的货斗驱动机构320将货斗310驱动至目标货道处，使货斗310的入口与目标货道的出口相对，并控制目标货道内的货物输送机构211驱动货物沿目标货道的长度方向移动预设距离，以将货物经货斗310的入口311a送入货斗310内。其中，当货斗310接收目标货道210送出的货品时，接货仓312位于入货位置以接收目标货道210送出的待售货品。
控制装置500通过检测装置400输出的信号检测货斗310的入口311a处是否有货物，具体的，在接货仓312在入货位置接收目标货道送出的货物后，控制装置500检测检测装置400的光电传感器410输出的信号，当检测到任意一个光电传感器410输出第一信号时，控制装置500判定货斗310的入口311a处有货物，当检测到所有光电传感器410均输出第二信号时，控制装置500判定货斗310的入口311a处没有货物。
在本文提供的其他实施例中，也可以通过其他方法检测货斗310的入口是否有货物，比如，在货斗310中设置摄像装置，通过摄像装置拍摄进入货斗310的货物的图像，并根据货物的图像判断货斗310的入口是否有货物，比如，当根据货物的图像确定货物位于或伸出货斗310的入口，则判定货斗310的入口有货物，否则，判定货斗310的入口没有货物。
在本实施例中，当检测到货斗310的入口311a处没有货物时，控制装置500控制递送装置300的货斗驱动机构320驱动货斗310移动至取货口130位置，以使用户从取货口130取走货物。其中，在货斗310移动过程中，接货仓312位于入货位置，挡板315能够防止接货仓312中的货物从接货仓312中掉出到接货仓312外部，保障货物运送时的稳定性。
在本实施例中，当检测到货斗310的入口311a有货物时，控制装置500控 制接货仓驱动机构314驱动接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置，以使货物全部进入货斗310，其中，第一位置位于入货位置和出货位置之间。
在一些实施例中，控制装置500具体用于控制接货仓312沿第一预设方向转动预设角度A1，以使接货仓312由入货位置到达第一位置，其中，第一预设方向为接货仓312由入货位置转动至出货位置时接货仓312的转动方向，预设角度A1通过实验或测试预先获得并预先存储在自动售货机010的存储装置中，可选的，预设角度A1大于0度并且小于45度，预设角度A1满足：接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置过程中，挡板315与柜门120不干涉。当然，在本文提供的其他实施例中，自动售货机010还可以包括用于检测接货仓312是否到达第一位置的第一传感器，接货仓312转动过程中，控制装置500根据第一传感器输出的信号检测接货仓312是否到达第一位置，当检测到接货仓312到达第一位置时，控制接货仓312停止转动。
图5是本文实施例提供的自动售货机的货斗在接货仓位于第一位置时的结构示意图，如图4A、图4B及图5所示，接货仓312由入货位置向第一位置转动过程中，接货仓312的前壁312b逐渐降低，后壁312c逐渐升高，从而使货斗310内货物的前端逐渐降低，后端逐渐升高，进而使倾斜的货物的底端在接货仓312的引导下逐渐向货斗310的出口311b方向移动，使得货物全部进入货斗310。进一步的，当货物由于倾斜而卡塞在货斗310的入口311a处时，通过使接货仓312由入货位置向第一位置转动，可以使接货仓312的后壁312c对被卡塞的货物施加向上的作用力，从而使被卡塞的货物进入货斗310内部。
在一些实施例中，控制装置500还用于控制接货仓312从入货位置转向第一位置时的速度在预设速度之下，比如，控制接货仓312从入货位置转向第一位置时的速度小于接货仓312从入货位置转向出货位置时的速度的二分之一， 进一步保证倾斜货物的底端在接货仓312的引导下沿底板312d向货斗310的出口方向移动，使得货物全部进入货斗310。
本实施例提供的自动售货机，当检测到货斗的入口有货物时控制货斗的接货仓由入货位置转动至第一位置，通过接货仓的转动可以使货斗内货物的前端降低，后端升高，从而使倾斜货物的底端在接货仓的引导下沿接货仓的底板向货斗的出口方向移动，使得货物全部进入货斗，从而避免由于货斗内的货物伸出货斗的入口而阻碍货斗的正常运动，保证了货斗能够在货道和取货口之间正常运动，因此解决了相关技术提供的自动售货机存在的货物伸出货斗的入口导致自动售货机工作异常的问题。
在一些实施例中，控制装置500还用于在接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置之后，控制接货仓驱动机构314驱动接货仓312由第一位置转动至入货位置。
在一些实施例中，控制接货仓312由第一位置转动至入货位置包括：控制接货仓312沿第二预设方向转动预设角度A1，以使接货仓312由第一位置到达入货位置，其中，第二预设方向为接货仓312由出货位置转动至入货位置时接货仓312的转动方向，该预设角度A1为接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置时所转动的角度。
当然，在本文提供的其他实施例中，也可以设置用于检测接货仓312是否位于入货位置的第二传感器，接货仓312转动过程中，通过第二传感器输出的信号检测接货仓312是否到达入货位置，当检测到接货仓312到达入货位置时，控制接货仓312停止转动。
在本文的另一实施例中，控制装置500还用于控制接货仓312往复转动至少一次，其中，当接货仓312每次往复转动后，检测货斗310的入口是否有货 物，当检测到货斗310的入口有货物时，控制接货仓312进行下一次往复转动。接货仓312往复转动一次为接货仓312由入货位置转动至第一位置，再由第一位置转动至入货位置的过程。
本实施例提供的自动售货机，当检测到货斗的入口有货物时，控制接货仓在入货位置和第一位置之间往返运动，直至货物全部进入货斗，因此，进一步提高了自动售货机的货斗工作的可靠性，保证了货斗能够在货道和取货口之间正常运动，进而进一步解决了相关技术提供的自动售货机存在的货物伸出货斗的入口导致自动售货机工作异常的问题。
在本文的再一种实施例中，控制装置500还用于当接货仓312每次往复转动后，检测货斗310的入口是否有货物，当检测到货斗310的入口有货物时，判断接货仓312往复转动的次数是否到达预设值，当判定接货仓312往复转动的次数未到达预设值时，控制接货仓312进行下一次往复转动。
具体的，在上一实施例的基础上，当控制接货仓312由第一位置转动至入货位置后，控制装置500还用于记录接货仓312往复转动的次数。具体的，每次根据用户的购买指令控制接货仓312在入货位置接收目标货道送出的货物后，控制装置500将接货仓312往复转动的次数设置为零，然后，接货仓312每往复转动一次，控制装置500将接货仓312往复转动的次数加1。
记录接货仓312往复转动次数之后，再检测货斗310的入口311a处是否有货物。当判定货斗310的入口311a有货物时，在接货仓312开始下一次往复转动之前，控制装置500判断接货仓312往复转动的次数是否到达预设值。
在本实施例中，当判定接货仓312往复转动的次数没有到达预设值时，则控制接货仓312进行下一次往复转动，当判定接货仓312往复转动的次数到达预设值时输出货斗异常的报警信息。在本实施例中，控制装置500控制报警装 置600输出货斗异常的报警信息。
本实施例提供的自动售货机在当接货仓由入货位置转动至第一位置的次数到达预设值时，如果仍然检测到货斗的入口有货物时，则输出货斗异常的报警信息，通过使用本实施例提供的自动售货机，使得维护人员能够及时获知货斗异常并进行异常处理，进一步提高了自动售货机的易维护性。
综上所述，本文实施例提供的自动售货机在出货过程中，先根据用户的购买指令控制接货仓在入货位置接收货道送出的货物，再检测货斗的入口是否有货物，当检测到货斗的入口有货物时控制货斗的接货仓由入货位置转动至第一位置，通过接货仓的转动可以使货斗内货物的前端降低，后端升高，从而使倾斜货物在接货仓的引导下沿接货仓的底板向货斗的出口方向移动，使得货物全部进入货斗，从而避免由于货斗内的货物伸出货斗的入口而阻碍货斗的正常运动，保证了货斗能够在货道和取货口之间正常运动，因此解决了相关技术提供的自动售货机存在的货物伸出货斗的入口导致自动售货机工作异常的问题。
